JAKARTA - Former vocalist, Saigon Kick, Matt Kramer denounced guitarist/vocalist Jason Bieler and drummer Phil Varone over Saigon Kick's latest tour.

Recently, Bieler and Varone announced they will start their tour to celebrate Saigon Kick's 30th birthday, Water.

Released in September 1993, Water was Saigon Kick's first album featuring Bieler as the lead vocalist, following Kramer's departure early that year due to so-called financial and creative problems.

Joining Bieler during the album recording session were Varone and bassist Chris McLernon.

On January 9, a day after Bieler and Varone announced their plans to tour to celebrate Water's album, Kramer wrote on his Facebook page that the inbox was flooded with congratulations to Saigon Kick's new tour which he then clarified

"This trend doesn't include me, it's Jason's 30-year anniversary, channeling hundreds of thousands of dollars from my personal publishing money that he asked me not to touch him so he could get me out of the band after I sang the top hit pop song 12 launching the band's giant hit," Kramer said.

"Then carefully made me really don't have a penny and confiscated all my equipment so I can't even do writing sessions for new projects," he continued.

"Soon after that I continued to record the Water album, and steal my vocal style by imitating myself trying to pretend as if I never left this band with the vocal voice I created for Saigon Kick."

"First he steals all my money, then he steals my job, and the fact that he sings exactly like me is the biggest robbery and a perfect example of why being a thief and cornerer from behind makes you win in the music business."

"There is no respect for anyone on the tour. It's really bitter but it's more about transparency. 30 years later, it's a gift that continues to be awarded. Support the good, get rid of the evil."
